The paper compares three F-actin probes in C. elegans, finding mStayGold offers best brightness and photostability, while mNeonGreen is suitable for photobleaching applications.

This study shows that apoptosis in C. elegans maintains germline structure and fertility by preventing morphological defects and ensuring proper oocyte development.

The paper investigates how actomyosin rings generate contractile force in different cellular contexts using a physical model to show that component abundance and distribution tune force magnitude while preserving conserved mechanics.

The paper identifies a transmembrane domain in septins from C. elegans and primates, showing it is required for membrane association and tissue integrity.

The paper shows that mechanical and biochemical feedbacks combine to create complex contractile oscillations during cytokinesis.
